Create a thread asking. Best way to find others close to you.

And you can use this as well ....

Edit: Also, kylemittskus posted a template we use to keep track of who's coming, theme, etc. on the I need a lift!.

Best thing is to look at one of the older gathering threads (Chicago, NoVA/DC, SoCal, (any of the #12 and older) etc.) and see how it starts. Usually incoherently.

Thanks yall!!

Just some suggestions for starting discussion in your gathering thread ....

1) Someone has to bite the bullet and offer to host the gathering by suggesting dates that are open for them.

2) You could find a restaurant with no corkage fee (no charge to open a wine bottle you bring) or one that will offer a 1 to 1 no corkage (you buy one of their wines, and they open one of yours).

3) Or host it at your house or local community room. KKV in NoVA/DC once held it in her building's community room. We all had to chip in for the cleanup fee, but it was minimal.

4) Another suggestion is to schedule it close to a wine function/event that's being held locally. Or a historical event. NoVA/DC mentioned the Manassas/Bull Run re-enactment in July.

5) Or do like we did in Southern Calif .... go to a wine area (Temecula) and tour some wineries.

Umm, darling CJ ... CyberPub linky still takes one to the NoVA gathering. I know how much you want me to go, but I must go to the bottling.

I corrected it (and the SoCal Date) when I posted last week, and will do so in both posts now.

Re-using your post, since nothing appears to have changed, except correcting the date for SoCal and the link for CyberPub.

Edit: Oops, and moving the Arizona to Fall.

Create a gathering thread for it in the World of Woot Wine (see top of this page). I believe there are several wooters down that way.
